Frequently Asked Questions - DHW180 MAKITA
What is the battery life on the Makita DHW180?
Battery life depends on the pressure used and the battery capacity. With a 6 Ah battery, you can get approximately 15 to 20 minutes of continuous cleaning at full power.
Can I use the device without an original Makita battery?
It is recommended to use only Makita LXT 18 V batteries to ensure safety and performance. Using non-certified batteries may damage the device.
How do I clean the water filter?
Remove the filter located in the water tank and rinse it with clean water. Make sure it is dry before reinstalling it. A clogged filter reduces pressure.
Can the DHW180 be connected to a garden hose?
Yes, the device has a water inlet for connection to a standard garden hose. You can thus use tap water instead of the built-in tank.
What type of detergent can I use?
Use non-corrosive detergents specifically for pressure washers. Makita recommends its own products. The built-in detergent tank allows easy application.
How to prevent the pump from overheating?
Do not run the device for more than 5 minutes without stopping. Take breaks to allow the pump to cool down. Check that the water level is sufficient.
What to do if the pressure decreases?
Check the water filter, the hose connection, and ensure the nozzle is not clogged. Also make sure the battery is sufficiently charged.
Is the DHW180 suitable for washing a car?
Yes, with the adjustable nozzle, you can adjust the pressure for gentle washing. Avoid holding the wand too close to the bodywork to avoid damaging it.
How to store the device in winter?
Completely empty the water tank and hoses to prevent freezing. Store the device in a dry, frost-free place. Remove the battery and store it separately.
Where to find spare parts?
Spare parts (hose, wand, seals) are available from authorized Makita dealers or on the brand's official website. Use the model number DHW180 for references.
